Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, the Punjab Congress president, has voiced strong opposition to the BJP's proposed delimitation of parliamentary constituencies, labeling it a 'hidden attack' on states like Punjab. He argues that this initiative will lead to 'political discrimination' and further weaken India's federal structure, which he claims is already under threat from the BJP. Warring announced that the Congress party will initiate a mass mobilization campaign across Punjab to oppose the delimitation, asserting that its true aim is to undermine states that have resisted BJP influence. He specifically challenged the ruling Aam Aadmi Party to convene a special session of the Punjab assembly to formally oppose the delimitation. Warring pointed out that states like Punjab, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala, which have historically rejected the BJP, will face disadvantages, while states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Madhya Pradesh, which support the BJP, will gain advantages. He also accused the BJP of attempting to pass the delimitation law through the backdoor by using the Women's Reservation Bill, which he emphasized is a right for women, not a favor. Warring reiterated Congress's commitment to women's political empowerment, demanding that implementation of such measures be sincere rather than merely symbolic.
